The Tiffen 4x4" 2 Skyfire Graduated Filter is a rectangular-shaped filter, and the terms vertical and horizontal are crucial as they refer to the filter's position in relation to the camera when the grad line is horizontal. The type of lens you use will also influence whether to use a Tiffen Color-Grad with a "hard" edge or "soft" edge. For instance, telephoto lenses utilize a small portion of the filter, making a hard edge filter more suitable. Conversely, wide-angle lenses make objects appear smaller, hence a soft edge filter is recommended as a hard edge gradient may appear as a hard straight line.
